"This recipe is outstanding...we've made it many times and never have any leftovers. I double the amount of sausage and use only one can of beans, and I omit the celery, but otherwise I keep everything else the same. I've used chicken-apple sausage, German sausage, and kielbasa interchangeably; all have been very good in this dish."
